Chapter 001 Entering the Wrong House, Recognizing the Wrong Person
[The whole book has been written, and the extra chapter is being planned, so it is not finished]
1982, summer.
Hongguang Fishing Village in the island city.
Early in the morning, the Lin family yard was crowded with people watching the excitement.
Lin Wanxia, who had just been pulled back from the sea, was lying on the ground and was still unconscious.
Zhu Qiaoyun poked her man's forehead and cursed.
"There is no good person in your Lin family! Especially Lin Wanxia! I have provided her with food and water for more than ten years, and she actually stole Yaoyao's partner?!"
"As shameless as her mother! An ungrateful little whore! Who are you jumping into the sea to show? Why don't you drown this little bitch?!"
"..."
Lin Gensheng couldn't listen any more and whispered: "Xia Xia didn't really steal, and she almost drowned just now. Don't be so stubborn."
"Did Lin Wanxia really rob? She slept with the wrong person! God is kind and didn't let this bitch Lin Wanxia succeed."
Zhu Qiaoyun cursed as she dragged the soaking wet Lin Wanxia into the utility room, locked the door, turned around, pinched her waist, and looked at the noisy neighbors through the fence.
"What are you looking at? Be careful not to see anything that's in your eyes. Don't you all need to go out to sea to fish? Can you fill your stomach by watching the excitement? Don't be so curious about other people's affairs, aren't you afraid of getting stye!"
After scolding the neighbor, he scolded Lin Gensheng, "Are you standing there like a wooden stake, waiting for the Cheng family to come and beat you up? Why don't you change your clothes and go to the Cheng family to apologize! If the Cheng family's marriage fails, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
"..."
Seeing that there was no excitement, the neighbors left while talking.
Some nosy villagers arrived late and didn't understand what was going on. They asked the people around them: "Who made Zhu Qiaoyun unhappy? Why is she taking it out on Xia Xia again?"
"Lin Wanxia is really not wronged this time. Zhu Qiaoyun said that Xia Xia seduced Lin Yaoyao's fiancé and was blocked on the bed by Zhu Qiaoyun."
"No way? How could such an honest child like Xia Xia do such a thing?"
"Even rabbits bite when they are cornered! If Zhu Qiaoyun hadn't wanted to 'sell' Lin Wanxia to the idiot of the Cheng family as a daughter-in-law, could she have done such a thing?"
"Alas! If this had really happened, Lin Wanxia would not have been wronged. The problem is that Lin Wanxia got into the wrong bed and slept with the wrong person! It's really a case of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken! I heard that she slept with an old comrade-in-arms of Lin Yaoyao's new boyfriend."
"Xia Xia is such a miserable child."
"..."
***
The small storage room was as hot and humid as a steamer, and filled with a disgusting fishy smell.
Lin Wanxia gulped, slowly opened her eyes, supported herself on the ground with one hand, and sat up with her forehead pinched with the other.
Her big dark eyes looked around, with a blank look in them.
Her head was stinging, and she was forced to accept the memories that did not belong to her.
After a while, Lin Wanxia sorted out the facts.
She had become a cannon fodder in a novel about military marriage.
To what extent is she a cannon fodder?
There are only less than a hundred words in the whole text, and her role is to highlight how bad the vicious female supporting role Lin Yaoyao is.
As for her own end, she slept with the wrong person and committed suicide by jumping into the sea.
In short, she is a tragic character from beginning to end.
The memory shows that when the original owner's mother was a child, she abandoned them to return to the city.
Within two years, her father went out to sea and never came back, and she has been living with her fourth uncle and fourth aunt.
The fourth uncle and fourth aunt adopted Lin Wanxia not because of family affection, but mainly because of their newly built house.
The fourth uncle and fourth aunt's family of four lived in three main rooms, and she could only sleep in the utility room.
The utility room was full of fishing nets and fishing gear, leaving only an aisle wide for one person.
Lin Wanxia slept in the air in this aisle like Xiaolongnu.
But she slept on a fishing net that was like a hammock instead of a rope.
Living under the eaves of her own house, life was also not easy.
Fourth aunt Zhu Qiaoyun beat and scolded her on a daily basis.
Lin Wanxia did all the housework. If she was not satisfied, she would not be given food. She could only pick up old clothes that Zhu Qiaoyun or Lin Yaoyao did not wear.
Every day was like a year.
Lin Wanxia's only hope was to grow up and leave this home. Who knew that when she just turned 18, Zhu Qiaoyun began to arrange a marriage for her. There was only one criterion for choosing a spouse, that is, a large gift.
After two years of searching, she finally found an ideal buyer.
Zhu Qiaoyun accepted a gift of 5,000 yuan from the Cheng family in the neighboring village and let her marry the stupid son of the Cheng family.
You know, in Hongguang Village, most families only have an annual income of about 500 yuan.
Ordinary people will give a gift of 600 to 800 yuan for a daughter-in-law. 1,000 yuan is already the standard for rich families to marry a daughter-in-law.
5,000 yuan is tantamount to selling Lin Wanxia openly.
Lin Wanxia was helpless and timid by nature. She could only hide in the storage room and cry when she felt so wronged. But
her cousin Lin Yaoyao, who was the same age as her, came to show off to her how good her boyfriend was.
She also said that Zhu Qiaoyun said that she would use Lin Wanxia's betrothal money and add a little more to buy a small fishing boat for her brother Lin Youzhi. The rest of the money would be used as her dowry so that she could marry her lover in a grand manner.
Even a clay figure has some earthiness, not to mention that Lin Wanxia is still a living person.
The desperate Lin Wanxia was provoked by Lin Yaoyao and was dizzy. With the idea of "If I don't live well, neither should you" and "Let's die together", she wanted to sleep with Lin Yaoyao's boyfriend.
As for sleeping with the wrong person, it was really not the original owner's fault.
In the mouths of Zhu Qiaoyun and Lin Yaoyao, the man she chose was handsome, tall, good at both literature and martial arts, hardworking... In short, he was a good man picked out of a million.
It happened that when Lin Wanxia went to deliver the potion for livestock pens, there were two young men of the same age on the boat. Naturally, she chose the tall and handsome one.
Unexpectedly, she slept with the wrong person.
It would have been fine if she slept with the wrong person, and no one would know. Unfortunately, Lin Wanxia was so angry that she wrote a note to Lin Yaoyao before leaving, and was caught by Zhu Qiaoyun's family who rushed over.
***
The utility room was made of rusted iron and broken wooden planks from fishing boats, and was not very strong. Lin Wanxia was so thin that she could kick a hole big enough for a person to get out.
She was not the original owner, so she would not be locked up here and cry.
Lin Wanxia was already 20 years old, and she could definitely take back the house and start her own business.
To get the house, the village cadres had to come forward, so Lin Wanxia went straight to the village chief's house without saying a word.
After hearing Lin Wanxia's purpose, the village chief looked embarrassed, "Our countryside is different from the city. We don't recognize the age of 18 as an adult. You see, the people who have separate households in the village are all married young men. Even if your situation is special, even if you want to marry a son-in-law, you have to be married before you can separate households, right?"
Lin Wanxia: "..."
If you don't separate households, and you don't have a first-generation ID card, you will need a household registration booklet and a letter of introduction if you want to go out. Wouldn't you be controlled by Zhu Qiaoyun? !
"And..." The village chief put on his reading glasses and rummaged through the drawer of his desk for a long time before finding a yellowed piece of paper. "It's clearly written in the document your fourth uncle and aunt adopted you that the house will be returned to you as a dowry when you get married. I, several other members of the village committee, and your uncle are all witnesses who have pressed their fingerprints."
Lin Wanxia: "..."
So, if she wants to get her family's property back, she has to get married first?
Where can she find someone who can marry her now and divorce her when she wants to?
